The Education of Robert Nifkin

robertnifkin.jpgSnuck in a quick YA one last night/this afternoon before heading to work: The Education of Robert Nifkin by Daniel Pinkwater. I have to keep better track of where I hear about books I then put on hold, purchase or check out (I probably heard the author on NPR)

Its a disturbing but amusing view of high school life in 1950s Chicago told as a long college essay by a kid who became a bit of a beatnik. Its a nice fantasy of getting to escape a horrible mind-numbing high school and really learn (or something).

Farrar Straus Giroux, 1998
Grades 8+, Ages 12-15
167 pages

Kirkus writes, "Falling somewhere between Candide and Holden Caulfield, Robert is an inexperienced but savvy teen, with an ability to land on his feet and capacity for sardonic observations that will have readers rocking with laughter."
